FRANKFURT, Feb 14 (Reuters) - The Swiss National Bank is not 
planning to issue a digital currency, which would give holders a 
direct claim on the central bank, board member Fritz Zurbruegg 
said on Wednesday. 
    "The Swiss National Bank is not planning the issue of a so 
called central bank digital currency," he told a conference 
organised by the Bundesbank.
